For years, Cisco CEO John Chambers has been saying that users should be able to get any content, on any device, at any time. It's a vision that Cisco is expanding this week with the announcement of its new Videoscape platform at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The Videoscape platform is an effort to build out a network video delivery platform using IP that can work across multiple devices. The technology is based on assets that Cisco acquired last August, and uses Linux as its base operating system.
